We picked up a pamphlet in Union Square to see why so many people are talking about the world ending on May 21, 2011. It turns out the theory comes down to two numerological proofs.
The first proof is based on Genesis 7:4, when God said to Noah:  "Seven days from now I will send rain on the earth for forty days and  forty nights, and I will wipe from the face of the earth every living  creature I have made."
When God referred to seven days, he meant both seven days and seven  thousand years, because "one day is with the Lord as a thousand years,  and a thousand years as one day." The flood occurred in 4990 BC. Seven thousand years later is 2011.
The second proof looks at the significance of the number of days between the Crucifixion and May 21, 2011.
There are 722,500 days between these dates. 722,500 is a significant  number because it is composed of the significant numbers  5x10x17x5x10x17. Five signifies redemption; ten signifies completion;  and 17 signifies heaven. The numbers represent  the day of redemption (5) and the end of the Christian era (10) and the  ascent to heaven (17) -- and these factors are doubled for added  significance.
We'll know for sure soon.
